Had a few wobbly back 9a so far and it’ll be interesting to hear him talk about his fitness after the event be he looks more solid this time. It’ll be tough but would love to see him win a few more.
Great to see Tiger Woods back

Agree great to see him back,and I wish him great success,
but the problem is that when he starts in a decent tournament or a major, the whole media circus is focused on him and him alone even if he is in 60th place, to the detriment of other players who are in contention
But it’s Tiger

Yes but if I was someone like Hovland who is a semi rookie I’d want to experience being around all that before it’s gone.Agree great to see him back,and I wish him great success,

I tuned in for a bit yesterday, didn't really want to watch the guy in 3rd from last place. I wanted to see the business end of the tournament.

You are looking at it from 2 opposing sides
The pro side and the viewing public side.
Ok some pros get to play with him and can tell that to their grand children, but, in my opinion, the majority of the viewers want to see the players at the sharp end, if Tiger is up there, then great, fill yer boots, but focusing solely on him when not in contention is lazy broadcasting.

I was never a Tiger fan but it is good to see him back.

I've walked a few times with Tiger and he just hit the ball with a sound that I never heard from most pro's. I remember being at the Grove and he hit a driver up and over a hill and I can still remember the sound of that shot being struck mmmmmmmm. It'd be great to see him again.

Just a 10x bigger draw than any other golfer pure and simple.
Even his fellow pros recognise that.

I tuned in as well, saw the guy in 3rd from last place, and also every shot the leaders played.

He's sweating like Jay Monahan on a flight to Riyhad. He's clearly bulked up but not sure he's looking healthy - I hope I'm wrong - but I always feel like Tiger is being pushed by the clamor from the fans to see him playing.

I may be in the minority... I have recorded it and have been just zooming through the rounds... But primarily just zooming through to see all of Tigers shots...ill get to see all the guys at the top during the final round now... If Tiger wasn't playing I doubt I'd watch more than 20 mins of it.

Can you not keep the anti PGAT tone contained to the LIV thread ?

It's a bit like "old blue eyes", the words and music are the same but the delivery is disappointingly different.

Nothing lazy about focusing on the star of the show. It’s what most people had switched on to watch.
Did they actually skip any shots from the leaders?

For me Tiger can walk on water. He went round that course at even par having hardly played.....and was the oldest in the tournament. He's the reason I took up golf in 2001, and I have no problem watching every shot he takes. I DO agree that the focus should be on the leaders.......but you are discussing the man who changed the face of modern golf. He will be always my hero, and I think that applies to a lot of golfers.

He says he wants to play once a month..that gives him 2 weeks rest and then a week to get back into it - his words...
He admitted that he was rusty and at times it showed...
Is 1 week of practice, 1 week of tournament golf and then 2 weeks off going to shake the rust off..?
Not convinced......
